OEDIPUS.
Whose wrath would not be kindled when he heard
Language so hateful to a patriot's ear?
TIRESIAS.
Even if I keep silence, it must come.
OEDIPUS.
That which must come why not disclose to me?
TIRESIAS.
I will speak no word more; then, if thou wilt,
Freely give vent to thy most savage wrath.
OEDIPUS.
Freely my anger shall give utterance
To what I think: I think that in thy mind
This murder was engendered, was thy act
Save the mere blow, and hadst thou not been blind,
I should have deemed thee the sole murderer.
